Dialect
The term DIALECT (from
LatinLatin dialectus, dialectos, from the Ancient
Greek word διάλεκτος, diálektos, "discourse", from διά,
diá, "through" and λέγω, légō, "I speak") is used in two
distinct ways to refer to two different types of linguistic phenomena:
* One usage refers to a variety of a language that is a
characteristic of a particular group of the language's speakers.
Under this definition, the dialects or varieties of a particular
language are closely related and, despite their differences, are most
often largely mutually intelligible , especially if close to one
another on the dialect continuum . The term is applied most often to
regional speech patterns, but a dialect may also be defined by other
factors, such as social class or ethnicity

Creole Language
A CREOLE LANGUAGE is a stable natural language developed from a
mixture of different languages. While the concept is similar to that
of a mixed or hybrid language , in the strict sense of the term, a
mixed/hybrid language has derived from two or more languages, to such
an extent that it is no longer closely related to the source
languages. Creoles also differ from pidgins in that, while a pidgin
has a highly simplified linguistic structure that develops as a means
of establishing communication between two or more disparate language
groups, a creole language is more complex, used for day-to-day
purposes in a community, and acquired by children as a native language
. Creole languages, therefore, have a fully developed vocabulary and
system of grammar . The precise number of creole languages is not known, particularly as
many are poorly attested or documented, but the list of creole
languages shows that creoles exist around the world

Register (sociolinguistics)
In linguistics , a REGISTER is a variety of a language used for a
particular purpose or in a particular social setting. For example,
when speaking in a formal setting, an English speaker may be more
likely to use features of prescribed grammar than in an informal
setting—such as pronouncing words ending in -ing with a velar nasal
instead of an alveolar nasal (e.g. "walking", not "walkin'"), choosing
more formal words (e.g. father vs. dad, child vs. kid, etc.), and
refraining from using words considered nonstandard, such as ain\'t . As with other types of language variation, there tends to be a
spectrum of registers rather than a discrete set of obviously distinct
varieties—numerous registers could be identified, with no clear
boundaries between them

Pidgin
A PIDGIN /ˈpɪdʒɪn/ , or PIDGIN LANGUAGE, is a grammatically
simplified means of communication that develops between two or more
groups that do not have a language in common: typically, a mixture of
simplified languages or a simplified primary language with other
languages' elements included. It is most commonly employed in
situations such as trade , or where both groups speak languages
different from the language of the country in which they reside (but
where there is no common language between the groups). Fundamentally,
a pidgin is a simplified means of linguistic communication, as it is
constructed impromptu, or by convention, between individuals or groups
of people. A pidgin is not the native language of any speech
community, but is instead learned as a second language. A pidgin may be built from words, sounds, or body language from a
multitude of languages as well as onomatopoeia

ISO 639-3
ISO 639-3:2007, Codes for the representation of names of languages
– Part 3: Alpha-3 code for comprehensive coverage of languages, is
an international standard for language codes in the
ISO 639 series. It
defines three-letter codes for identifying languages. The standard was
published by ISO on 1 February 2007.
ISO 639-3 extends the
ISO 639-2 alpha-3 codes with an aim to cover
all known natural languages . The extended language coverage was based
primarily on the language codes used in the
Ethnologue (volumes 10-14)
published by
SIL International , which is now the registration
authority for ISO 639-3. It provides an enumeration of languages as
complete as possible, including living and extinct, ancient and
constructed, major and minor, written and unwritten. However, it does
not include reconstructed languages such as Proto-Indo-European

is based on the
HindiHindi language, it does not refer exclusively to
Hindi, but "is used in India, with English words blending with Punjabi

Language Family
A LANGUAGE FAMILY is a group of languages related through descent
from a common ancestral language or parental language, called the
proto-language of that family. The term "family" reflects the tree
model of language origination in historical linguistics , which makes
use of a metaphor comparing languages to people in a biological family
tree , or in a subsequent modification, to species in a phylogenetic
tree of evolutionary taxonomy . Linguists therefore describe the
daughter languages within a language family as being genetically
related. According to
Ethnologue the 7,099 living human languages are
distributed in 141 different language families. A "living language"
is simply one that is used as the primary form of communication of a
group of people. There are also many dead and extinct languages, as
well as some that are still insufficiently studied to be classified,
or are even unknown outside their respective speech communities

Writing System
A WRITING SYSTEM is any conventional method of visually representing
verbal communication . While both writing and speech are useful in
conveying messages , writing differs in also being a reliable form of
information storage and transfer . The processes of encoding and
decoding writing systems involve shared understanding between writers
and readers of the meaning behind the sets of characters that make up
a script.
WritingWriting is usually recorded onto a durable medium , such as
paper or electronic storage , although non-durable methods may also be
used, such as writing on a computer display , on a blackboard, in
sand, or by skywriting . The general attributes of writing systems can be placed into broad
categories such as alphabets , syllabaries , or logographies . Any
particular system can have attributes of more than one category
